Abstract
This article considers issues of social entrepreneurship as a key tool for solving social problems in society and as a mechanism for changing the very concept of social policy at the state and regional levels. Therefore, the goal of this article is to analyze the current state of social entrepreneurship in the Volgograd region and its relationship with state and non-state actors. The following were used research methods: dialectical method; logical methods of economic research; methods of data analysis and formal logic. Social entrepreneurship in Russia is a new phenomenon compared to Western countries, and the recently emerged sector of the economy has not yet received such development in the subjects of the Russian Federation as abroad. Currently, the social business is not ready to answer a lot of questions related to solving social problems, however, a certain trend in this direction has been set. The state, society, and businesses are slowly moving away from the traditional understanding of the social activities that each of them is accustomed to carry out. The development of social entrepreneurship helps to smooth out pressing issues of society, speeds up their solution by involving a larger number of stakeholders in the issue.
Highlights
In general theory of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship is a relatively new subject, and if the discussion on this topic in the Western scientific community has been going on since the 80s of the XX century, in Russian practice it appeared only 30 years later
This is explained by several reasons, one of which is the interest of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the search for entrepreneurs who can fulfill the social obligations of the state and the region while receiving certain support [1]
The creation of favourable economic conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and the systematic improvement of the population’s quality of life are the main tasks of the socio-economic policy of the region, which acts as an instrument for implementing the development strategy of the state as a whole and makes it possible to solve priority tasks, including minimizing differences in the Russian Federation subjects’ level of social economic development
Summary
In general theory of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship is a relatively new subject, and if the discussion on this topic in the Western scientific community has been going on since the 80s of the XX century, in Russian practice it appeared only 30 years later. Social business is a very special kind of activity, a kind of brand, which today is spreading both in Russia as a whole and in the Volgograd Oblast in particular. This is explained by several reasons, one of which is the interest of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the search for entrepreneurs who can fulfill the social obligations of the state and the region while receiving certain support [1]
